I have the Openlayers 3 Geolocation API working on non-mobile browser correctly, but I get 'User Denied Geolocation' error testing on mobile devices.
What could be the reasons of this error?
If it helps, i'm using chrome in my mobile device.

Openlayers added moveTolerance option into ol.Map to give better click experience on touch devices. check the change log and documents for details.
Version up your Openlayers to use moveTolerance option.
new ol.Map({
...
moveTolerance: 5
})
In Firefox you can give the geolocation permission per website:
I assume that it is the same for other browsers. So while the browser itself can have permission to access the Geolocation API, it could be blocked for your specific application.
PS.: I wonder if Internet Explorer even supports the Geolocation API. For Safari, this support article could help.

What happens is exactly what the error message says:
'User denied Geolocation'. You have to change your mobile browser's privacy settings to grant your OpenLayers web page access to the geolocation.
